honestly, i prefer chris harris’ coverage of most of these cars now. Top Gear is fun to watch but not nearly as practical or informative.

problem is Top Gear gets everything first. Harris’ coverage is only really great when after a year or so when he gets free reign from a vehicle owner instead of just a press car.

the problem is you are watching top gear expecting a car review show, that stopped years ago, it’s way better now without being that.

Clarkson Tweeted this on Sunday:

or in other words it has jumped the shark.

the only reason the skits work is because of the credibility accrued through years of road testing, racing and the test track times…

They _work_ because they are hilarious. Its _great_ because I can sit down with 5 people who don’t give a shit about cars and they will be glued to the TV for the entire show.

Agreed - although _some_ like Hovervan, are great no matter how scripted they are

yea but it jumped the shark years and years and years ago. if you really were upset about it you would have stopped watching it a long time ago. and clarkson stated that the p1 will get a lap time it just is in a future episode w the 918.
